Xavi Simons Extends Loan at RB Leipzig

Xavi Simons will return to RB Leipzig for the 2024-25 season after a successful loan spell, where he scored eight goals and registered 11 assists last season, helping the team finish fourth in the Bundesliga. The 21-year-old Dutch winger expressed his satisfaction with the move, noting the club's trust in him and their clear plan for his development. Despite interest from Bayern Munich, Simons opted to continue at Leipzig, as confirmed by Paris Saint-Germain, which emphasized that the loan does not include a purchase option. Simons also made an impression during Euro 2024, scoring in the semi-final match against England. His return marks Leipzig's third signing ahead of the upcoming season, following the additions of a goalkeeper and midfielder. He is expected to participate in a friendly against PSG soon as part of his pre-season preparations.
